When Programming for facebook applications they use their proprietary language called FBML which is similar to HTML. FBML does not allow scripts to be run. Facebook also has development console tools for testing purposes. Writing with FBML lets you use the user’s information such as their name, location, friend’s usernames, etc with Facebook keeping their information private from the creators of the application.
